Strange to see people deride Audi's MMI ****, reguarly reviewed as one of the best systems in the industry, and prefer the Lexus mouse controller, reguarly panned as the absolute worst in the industry.

Yes, MMI is a bit strange, but once you own the car for a month or so you can get to anywhere without ever taking your eyes off the road. Lexus can't say that about their system.

I think Audi's system is better than the one I have in my C63s

I'm not sure I follow you. How can you look at ANY center-dash screen and out the windshield, at the road in front of you, at the same time?

lol, if everyone thought the same then only single car brand would exist in universe. Obviously people have different opinions, learn to live with it.

Well, I guess there's just a subtle difference between "I didn't really like it" and "That car is pretty terrible" I don't care if he didn't like it--he's entitled to his opinion. It's his credibility that takes the hit when using such hyperbole....

That's the entire point. You don't need to look at the screen. You don't ever need to move your hand. Everything is laid out such that it's a sequence of button presses, which becomes natural muscle memory after a month or so.

Also, I can look out the road in front of me and at my dash info by using the Head-up display. The HUD is something which Lexus is sorely lagging behind on.
